Isaiah 58:6-8

Contemporary English Version

⁶ I'll tell you
what it really means
    to worship the Lord.
Remove the chains of prisoners
    who are bound unjustly.
Free those who are abused!
^7 (A) Share your food with everyone
    who is hungry;
share your home
    with the poor and homeless.
Give clothes to those in need;
don't turn away your relatives.

⁸ Then your light will shine
like the dawning sun, and you
    will quickly be healed.
Your honesty^[a] will protect you
    as you advance,
and the glory of the Lord
    will defend you from behind.
